bhavānī-śabde kahe mahādevera gṛhiṇī
tāṅra bhartā kahile dvitīya bhartā jāni

 bhavānī śabde - by the word bhavānī; kahe - is mentioned; mahādevera - of Lord Śiva; gṛhiṇī - the wife; tāṅra - her; bhartā - husband; kahile - if we say; dvitīya - second; bhartā - husband; jāni - we understand.


Text

“The word ‘bhavānī’ means ‘the wife of Lord Śiva.’ But when we mention her husband, one might conclude that she has another husband.
